Y'Tar

You hurry to grab up a hamburger. You find the two biggest and slather mustard on them. You scoop up as many french fries as you can onto the plates, and hurry back to the beds, handing Blackfire one.

"Thank you," she says, then kisses you on the cheek.

*DING DING DING* The fight begins

Y'Tar and his pigman opponent, Uhog, circle around, the latter knowing the reputation of the former.

The circle becomes smaller, as they spiral towards each other.

Uhog rushes in, grabbing Y'Tar around the waist with his plump, porky arms. Uhog carries Y'Tar on his shoulder as he rushes towards the cage wall.

*BAM* Y'Tar drives his elbow in between Uhog's shoulder blades, and Uhog stops running.

Uhog is on his knees as Y'Tar glares down at him. Y'Tar takes the pigman's head in both hands.

*WHAM* Y'Tar's knee rams into Uhog's collar bone, and Uhog falls to the ground, writhing in pain.

Y'Tar stands over Uhog, staring down at him.

"I give up!" Uhog cries. "I give up!"

The match is over, and Y'Tar wins via forfeit, the only one of the day.

Your mouth hangs open. Not including the time taken to circle each other, that sequence of moves--from Uhog's waist lock to Uhog quitting--only took about fifteen seconds.

The girls all look at you, not sure what to say.

Your open mouth slowly starts to move into a grin, and you start to laugh. Blackfire starts to look at you like you've gone insane.

"That's going to be a damn fun fight!" you say, still laughing. "I am actually HOPING Y'Tar wins next round so I can face him in the finals."

"So you're confident you'll win against Jin and his mystery ability?" Blackfire asks.

"Yeah," you say. "I'll just make sure he doesn't get in my face."

It is an hour before the designated time, so the five of you hurry back to the dome.
